Vršič - Razor

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the Vršič pass, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot we head onto the road in the direction of Trenta and at the end of the parking lot we reach a small intersection, where we continue left onto a side road, which after a short ascent brings us to Tičarjev dom na Vršiču.
From Tičarjev dom we continue along the gravel road along which there are signs for Poštarski dom and along which we begin to ascend moderately through scenic slopes. With views of the surrounding peaks, we quickly reach a marked junction.
Here we continue right in the direction of Prisanka and Razor (straight along the road to Poštarski dom and the summit of Vršič) and continue on a well-trodden mountain path, which for some time continues along a gentle and scenic ridge. After a few minutes the path begins to ascend more steeply through a sparser belt of dwarf pines, then it levels out and brings us right below the summit of the grassy Sovna glava.
From Sovna glava follows a short descent to Sedlo za Sovno glavo and we are already at the next junction, where we continue straight or slightly right (left leads the path to Prisank through Prednje okno). In the continuation we cross the slopes on the western side of Prisanka or Prisojnik over scree. The path ahead ascends a bit more and takes us to the place where the Grebenska pot to Prisank branches left, and straight ahead continues the path that leads to Razor, Pogačnikov dom and Prisank (Prisank Slovenian path and Jubilejna pot and Razor southern path).
We continue straight but the path quickly branches again.
To the left branches the Slovenian path to Prisojnik and the path towards Kajzljeva škrbina, we continue right following the signs for Razor (southern path) and begin to descend somewhat. The path then moves onto the southern slopes and crosses the slopes towards the east. At some places we are assisted by a few pitons and steel cables, then we reach grassy slopes. After a longer crossing we come to the Mlinarica junction, where the path branches.
We continue right towards Razor and Pogačnikov dom (left Jubilejna pot to Prisojnik), where in the continuation we first cross the slopes below Razor, a little further it brings us to the entry into the technically more demanding part. Here, with the help of fixed protection, we climb a short wall, the ascent in this part does not cause more serious difficulties. Higher up the path turns south towards Utrujeni stolp, and we continue with increasingly beautiful views to Sedlo Planja, where we join the path from Kriški podi.
From Sedlo Planja we continue sharply left (right to Planja, straight to Pogačnikov dom) along the path that initially ascends through natural passages, where the path is occasionally only slightly exposed. A little further the path leads us past a cave in which ice and snow usually remain almost all year round. From the cave onwards we ascend towards the notch, where we must be careful not to cause rockfall. A little further we arrive at the place where the new path separates from the old one. The old path is permanently closed due to a rockfall in 2013, so we turn right onto the well-marked new path, along which we quickly reach a short, but very demanding ascent, where according to PZS recommendations the use of a self-belay set is mandatory. With the help of a steel cable and rungs we climb a vertical or, on a short section, even an overhanging chimney, which is also quite exposed to falling rocks due to stones above the chimney. When the secured section ends, only the ascent along the scenic ridge to the summit of Razor remains.
